ORGANISING SCIENCE- CHEMISTS' PART IN INDUSTRY. To mark the founding of the Institute of Chemistry of Great Britain and Ire land, forty-six years ago, the fellows and associates, with thoir guests, met at din ner at the Hotel Victoria on December 10th, under the presidency of Mr. Alfred Chaston Chapman.
Viscount Haldane, in submitting the toast of The Institute, of nothing in which they were in deeper need than the combination of science, and organisation in industry which that in stitute as a body was seeking to achieve Going back seventy years, Great Britain It was in a position much to be "envied.

Science saved its cost in money which had very little relation to industry: dredfold. Most of the troubles of their and, consequently, manufacturers were able to get on very well without it. They industries had a chemical origin. No were extremely practical and shrewilworks could be called eficient or pru the works chemist.

Mr A Chaston Chapinan, replying said that whether we regarded chemistry as a subject of study essential to an understanding of the world in which we lived, as an agent which had done so much to transforin the life of man, s one of the most powerful factors in the creation of material wealth, or, finally, as that department of knowledge on which our national prosperity and our national security so largely depended, its supreme importance was equally manifest, and that importance it must be the business of the institute to drive home to the nation at large. When we realised the stupendous part which chemistry had played, and was destined to play, in himan affairs, and when we remembered. how much it might be made to contribute SHANGHAI OFFICE:- to the program and welfare, not only of nations hut of the whole human race, it should, he felt, be regarded as a privilege ly those who were in the happy position of being leaders of the people to do all they could to foster its development and to widen the spliere of its influence. During the war he would not say that they were actually discovered, but for the first time the nature of their netivities and their great usefulness were widely recognised.

Difficult as were the problems which industry set the chemist, those set by the Services were even more difficult
Lieut-General Sir Noel Birch, Master- General of the Ordnance, replied for the Arany. There was no doubt, he said, that in the late war chemists saved us from defeat. In 1915, when the Germans made their gas attack, the chemists came to our assistance, and, having first provided preventive measures, then took the offen- sive, and heat the German at his own game. (Hear, hear.)..
Viscount Burnham, in proposing the toast of Science in Industry," said that science in industry was, they were all glad to recollect, of British origin, but in the false security of their industrial life of the last century, when they had in their hands three-quarters of the manu- facturing production of the world, they allowed it to be largely naturalised and developed in Germany and America, Late, but not too late, they discovered their default, and they bad been trying to think ahead of themselves ever since. Talking of education Herbert Spencer said that only when genius is married to science can the highest results be obtain- ed. If, as he believed, Great Britain could only exist provided that the maxi- mum of efficiency. bo practised with the maximum of economy, "it was not only but industry itself that must be
